Thread: Front Brakes Lockup Dakota R/T

    Default Front Brakes Lockup Dakota R/T

    Hi Guys

    Just replaced the front brakes & rotors. They worked fine for a short run but the driver side locked up. I replaced the calipers seals and tried again. It worked for a short time again but both sides locked up this time. Drove home on the E brake. Now I'm questioning the power booster not releasing the brakes? I could use some help troubleshooting and repair once it is identified. All the help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance guys.

    Common problem. The line deteriorates inside and fills caliper with crud, locks them up.

    Replace both calipers and front hoses, bleed brake lines until fresh clean fluid comes out before installing new parts to flush out any remaining crap, and install the new parts.
